Ah yes,
the pied piper of men
one who plays deceptive song
in sacred places, with eyes
aglow with endless hunger~

in essence, a siren

Tell me,
did you feel it?
do you still crave it?
& do you hate me for it?
a fresh, yet bitter memory
dressed in black
and oh...
how you wear it

A weapon for your tongue
like sour wine, bitter-sweet
at this banquet of destruction
While the symphony rises
on a note of hysteria
you feebly attempt
to control the impossible,
Me...

Hey there, I really liked your poem...nice tension.

Just want to point out that feebley needs to be spelled as 'feebly.'

Your dangers are many. I
Cannot look much but your form suffers
Some strange injury

Sometimes a "banquet of destruction",
is the only way to describe it.
I love that analogy.
Great poem, Tiersdin.
Thanks.

Coyote, I agree! thank you for reading and commenting! *smiles*

Poet DeVine, & Swamp Fairie, I think as poets of the feminine persausion, we speak a language that communicates one to the other. It is not surprising at all that you've experienced these things or can relate to them. I couldn't tell you how many poems I've read that felt were written for me or about me. Thank you lots for reading and commenting! *hugs*

Truly appreciative
